    Summary

    Dick Grayson becomes an older brother, quite suddenly, just over three months after his fifteenth birthday.

    The sleeping toddler in his father’s arms looks generally unaware of his whereabouts and the changes in surroundings as he curls in on himself, looking cold in the thin, muted green onesie that’s a bit too big for him. Bruce, still in his Batman suit bar the cowl, looks more shocked (and grief stricken, if Dick’s properly learnt his father’s minuscule expressions and what they mean) rather than looking fond or happy. He’s sitting in the pivot chair he usually uses when he’s on the batcomputer, but he’s facing away from the monitors and looking at Dick now, sitting on a spare chair in front of him.

    “A… brother,” Dick repeats, carefully. “A baby brother.”

     

    or

    Talia gives Damian to Bruce when he's one and a half years old. This one decision leads to a series of fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on who is looking at it) events that speeds up the 'accidental' acquisition of the rest of Dick Grayson's siblings. Mostly, though, it just makes Damian and Dick (as well as the others) closer.

    Well.

    At least Dick has his bigger family sooner.

    Summary

    Gotham City has always been a place where monsters wear human faces. For over two centuries, one secret has stayed buried deeper than all the rest.

    The Szarr family arrived in Gotham in the early 1800s. Aristocratic, pale, and impossibly wealthy. They built a manor on the outer edge of the old quarter, kept to themselves, and outlived everyone who thought to ask questions. To the city's elite, Cazador Szarr is merely a reclusive eccentric billionaire.

    The young man always at his side is introduced as his ward. His heir. Astarion Ancúnin is beautiful and charming and has not made a single choice of his own free will in two hundred years.

    Nightwing has brought down crime lords, assassins, and monsters wearing human faces. He is very good at his job. When a string of missing persons leads him to the Szarr family's doorstep, he's confident he knows what he's walking into.

    He has never been more wrong about anything in his life.

    Summary

    "Hello, little bird."

    The mechanized voice echoed through the room. The silhouettes outside didn't seem to notice.

    Dick slowly pried his eyes open. No one was there.

    "Isn't it nice to see me again?"

    Still, the room was silent and unmoving except for the beeping of his heart rate. His eyes darted around the room, glaring at the curtains like it would reveal a hallucination of Deathstroke aiming for his throat.

    He turned.

    Slade's one eye was boring into his skull right next to him.

     

    or

     

    Dick is torn apart by two of the worst and best mentors in his life.

     

    Full of confused batfam (especially the Robin boys), angst, hallucinating Dick Grayson, Father's Day drama, and reveals!
